Let Me Introduce You

      It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been writing like a dog.  Sometimes it takes

working all night to write a paper.  This is my first quarter at college and it’s been fun

and challenging.  Over the next year it is my goal to accomplish an associate degree. 

This class has provided the opportunity to write about several types of themes.  People in

this world are so diverse, like a rainbow of many colors.  This final theme contains four

writings.  A critical thinking piece “Words Change Our Lives by Shaping Identity”,

revision piece “Communities Provide Stability”, voice and audience piece “Cultural

Tradition, Breaking Up, and Text Messages”, and the writer’s choice “What’s Your

Community”.

     One of my favorite writings was about Identities.  In this writing “Words Change Our

Lives by Shaping Identity”, the spoken or written word was shown to have the power to

change our identity.  During other readings and writings my personal views of

communities came into clearer focus.  Before my view of community was about where

we live, and now a community can be like a bowling league, being a member of people at

college, or an active member of a church.  In the essay “Communities Provide Stability”,

the essay described how people provided the needs for others causing stability for all its

members.  While writing “Cultural Tradition, Breaking Up, and Text Messages” a

thought came to me which says we often choose the convenience of using innovations

instead of doing the harder task of the cultural tradition.  This writing was about

innovations of technology changing the cultural traditions of breaking up in person.  In

the writing “Communities Provide Stability” showed how providing what someone needs

brings stability to that person’s life making a community.  The last writing “What’s Your

Community” is a short writing about quickly becoming a part of the college community. 

Let me know which writing you like.
